Essential to the modern recording studio, audio interfaces allow you to record external sounds like instruments and vocals into a computer, and MOTU audio interfaces are considered by many to be the finest. In fact, one of MOTU's most popular models is the 16A Thunderbolt. Combining top-notch sound quality with large console style mixing, this audio interface boasts 64 audio channels, has AVB networking capability, and it's even equipped with a 48-channel digital mixer.
